Eric Egland Memorial:
In partnership with the West Linn Lions Club, this scholarship remembers Eric GlenAlan Egland; a resident of West Linn for 27 years.  Eric attended the University of Oregon and graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Business.  He was a beloved husband of nearly 44 years, father of 4 West Linn High School graduates, and grandfather of 2.  Eric was a long-time member of the West Linn Lions Club and unselfishly volunteered his time, talent, and treasure in many ways to positively impact the world around him.  Since 2014, the Egland family has awarded an annual scholarship (in memory of Eric) to students who intend to pursue a degree in Business and are active in their local community.

Overview:
Each year, the Egland Family provides 1 or 2 scholarships to West Linn graduating seniors interested in pursuing a higher education major or career in business.  This scholarship selection will also highlight those individuals with a proven track record in community service.  To date, the scholarships have been up to $3,000.00 annually.  Since 2014, the Egland Family has given away 9 scholarships (totaling $19,500) to West Linn High School graduates over the past 7 years.

The primary scholarship funding mechanism has been through family and friend’s donations.  Cash contributions are encouraged through the Lions Foundation of West Linn (a 501(c)(3) organization) with confirmation available for tax purposes.  A key component of the scholarship fundraising success has been that every dollar raised goes directly to scholarships.

Endowment (Coming Soon):
The Egland Family will establish an endowment to aid in the scholarship grants.  As it continues to grow, the Egland Family will be able to use the investment gains to provide more scholarships or increase the amount granted.  We accept tax-deductible donations through our Lions Foundation of West Linn, a 501(c)(3) certified non-profit entity.
